v4l module

[Carl K]

I am looking for a v4l (either version 1 or 2) module.

I tried to use ctypes with ghostscript and failed. I have a feeling trying to
use it with kernel modules would be even harder, so not exactly what "I" want to
do.

I just tried http://antonym.org/libfg and it segfaulted. (bugs reported)

I found http://code.google.com/p/python-v4l2/ which is just a description, (and
a post about what I want to do) but no code.

I want to write unit tests to help debug v4l drivers, so I don't actually need
to display any video. I expect lots of "crashed when I did this" reports.

what this is for: http://chipy.org/V4l2forPyCon

What is the connection with Ghostscript?

You don't talk to kernel modules--that's the kernel's job.

Surely you'd just install libv4l, and call that from Python using ctypes.
